GreyjoyBastard posted:"Give up your mechs, our turrets have you targeted. My locust got cored from the turrets after he whiffed the shot. Serves the bastard right. He missed a building sized stationary target. I prefer to think the 90 days in the medbay for was the massive rear end kicking he got after, not from injuries in combat.

I'll just do this 1 Skull Mission for some quick cash. 8 Enemy Mechs 4 Vehicles 100k Payout. What is the point of a difficulty rating if the game ignores it?

Astroniomix posted:The "wait times" aren't arbitrary, they are to give a cost to getting your pilots banged up, 94 days means you let someone take a shitload of hits or your guy ate a fatal blow. You aren't required to wait for all of your pilots to get out of the medbay, you're actually expected to have some extras so you can sub in. No, they're dumb and arbitrary. You can play a perfect game and it doesn't matter if it RNGs up a cockpit hit or three. They are also completely irrelevant for enemy mechs.

Is anyone finding a way to use Large Lasers? It seems like they generate way too much heat to be effective.

They really need to deal with the difficulty spikes. Having to fight through a 3 Heavy and 1 Light Lance to kill the Heavy behind them in 8 turns seems a bit asinine for a 1.5 skull mission.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:The draw of the AC/2 is basically range; it's got Gauss Rifle reach (though obviously it's objectively worse than the sweet baby Gauss in every other way). Being able to reach out and poke at something from halfway across the map isn't a bad thing. The problem with the AC2 is that LRMs do the exact same thing, for less tonnage, more damage and with indirect fire.

Unzip and Attack posted:Can the Dragon be redeemed in any way? Put an AC20 on it and use it to poo poo on lights and mediums. It also seems to have a high evasion cap. Hats Wouldnt Fly posted:So I don't really get the LRM love. SRMs do twice as much damage per ton, spread it less, and work at the ranges fights actually happen in. If you're indirect firing you're using two turns to do half damage to a guarding enemy at lower accuracy. That's not even getting into LRMs needing more ammo or dedicated LRM boats not being in the fight sharing their armor. With upgrades there is almost no penalty to indirect fire. So you can take a mech, strip off all the armor, put a stupid amount of LRMs tubes on it and hide it behind a rock. Then get the ++(?) version with +stability 2 damage. You're now knocking over an assault every turn it fires. Xae fucked around with this message at 04:52 on May 3, 2018 |

Sensor lock should be both an active and a passive skill. If you sensor lock(active) it reveals the target and strips two levels of evasion. If you fire at a revealed target with and you have sensor lock it stips one level of evasion before you fire.

This reinforcements poo poo so you have to fight double to triple your lance weight at the same time is stupid as gently caress and the game is getting unplayable. Is there a mod that fixes it yet?

Medium Lasers++ with +10 Damage are hilariously broken on the hunchback. 180 Damage/round forever? Don't mind if I do.

Dramicus posted:It's kinda how IRL composite armor means modern tanks weigh the same or less than ww2 tanks, but are physically much larger, faster, better protected, and with more firepower. Modern tanks weigh as a much as a Stalker. An Abrams clocks in at 80-85tons. Its better to just not think about Battletech and "realism".

aparmenideanmonad posted:R and L torsos, arms, and head have no impact on mech piece salvage (you get 3 pieces). Destroying one leg has no effect (you get 3). Destroying both legs means you get 2. Destroying CT leaves you with 1. There does appear to be some randomness to it. I domed a Cataphract with an AC20 and only got 2/3 salvage.

Cynic Jester posted:Major Tactics is probably the best ability in the game and by a huge margin. Not only is it better as you level, because called shot mastery is the single biggest increase in your ability to core you can get from any source, but once you start trucking around with 4x Heavies or Assault, being able to shed stability damage without using an action is huge. If I was redoing my run, I'd have Master Tactician on all my pilots, and Minor Gunnery on LRM pilots and Bulwark on frontliners. As you hit mid to late game, relying on evasion for damage mitigation is silly. And Bulwark has the advantage of protecting you against having your head shot out by a lucky AC20 hit. And this doesn't even get into how huge +1 initiative is at all weights. Major tactics is an OK skill. But being able bypassing Bulwark and other DR status effects is huge. You worry a lot less about stability when you just popp'ed off an AC20s into two different targets, by passing their 50% DR and killing them.

Maybe give mediums and lights evasion resist and higher evasion caps. Possibly a skill that would spread damage over their armor to avoid one shots.
